So with this peculiar new WWE edict about third party income, such as Twitch, Cameo and PWtees, how would it affect someone like, say, Hulk Hogan? He runs retail stores selling Hogan merchandise. How would that affect his WWE deal?

To the best of my knowledge, those under WWE Legends deals are thus far not included under the WWE edict that came down on Thursday.

Where is Aleister Black originally from?  My friend says he went to school with him in Kentucky.

Black is from The Netherlands so your friend is either a liar or was an exchange student.

I have seen some MLW footage from Underground hasn't popped up on the current run of Underground.  Any idea why?

I know that on one week of the show, they noted there were production issues with digitizing content from the original source material, so it's either that or a creative decision.

Gun to your head - are we going to Wrestlemania in Los Angeles?

Well, thanks for wanting to put a gun to my head.  That's pleasant.  It all depends on the scientists.  If there's a safe vaccine that is properly vetted that can help, I'd say yes.  If not, I honestly wouldn't expect there to see major arenas or stadiums filled to the brim for events, Wrestlemania included.  To me, it's still very much to be determined.

What are the chances of former wrestling veteran Paul Orndorff being elected to the WWE Hall of Fame sometime next year or so?

Not good...he was inducted into the Hall in 2005 in Los Angeles.  You can find the induction on the WWE Network.

Who was Arachniman?

The long-forgotten WCW gimmick was the late Brad Armstrong.  The long standing belief is a legal letter from Marvel Comics ended the idea.

I seem to remember a guy wrestling in WCW as the Minotaur? Have I lost my mind or am I mixing him up with Mantaur?

No, you aren't crazy.   Steve DiSalvo, who also worked as Steve Strong, did work some WCW television appeances in the early 1990s. He wasn't long for the company.
